Choosing the Right Diesel Backup Generator for Your Home

With so many options available, selecting the right diesel generator can feel overwhelming. That’s why we guide you through the entire process — from choosing the right model to professional installation. Here’s what to consider when selecting a diesel generator for household use:

Why Choose Diesel?

Diesel generators are favored for their:

  • Durability — Built to last with heavy-duty engines

  • Fuel efficiency — Diesel fuel provides more energy per gallon

  • Low maintenance — Fewer moving parts and longer service intervals

  • Longevity — Diesel engines often last 2–3x longer than gas counterparts

These features make them perfect for residential standby power, especially during long-term outages or harsh weather events.

Key Features to Look For

When searching for the best standby diesel generator for home use, here are key features to consider:

  • Power Output: Match your generator’s size with your home's needs — from small home standby generators to whole home diesel generators.

  • Fuel Efficiency: Diesel models are cost-effective for long run times.

  • Noise Level: Many newer units are engineered for quiet operation.

  • Weather Resistance: Choose a durable model built for outdoor exposure.

Diesel Generators for Households

Standby Generators

These are permanently installed systems that automatically turn on when an outage is detected. They’re ideal for Memphis-area homeowners who want seamless, full-home coverage during any power loss.

Portable Generators

While not as common for full-house coverage, portable diesel generators can be an excellent option for smaller homes or for use in specific situations where mobility is required. They are not permanently installed and can be moved around as needed. However, they require manual setup and connection to your home's power system during an outage.
